Hey chickadees. I don't know why I never posted about this earlier, but this year I've had a radio show where I play jazz, swing, and popular music from the 1920's, 30's, and 40's (I know, how out of character). Anyway, tonight is my very last show ever, the last time I'll ever be broadcasting So if you enjoy this type of music or just would like to listen, you can stream my show online at http://wtsr.org/ (click the thing that says "Listen Live").

The show goes from 6:00-8:00 EST (so it starts in two hours from now). Hope you enjoy if you choose to listen <3

Ya know Cuddly if you ever come to Los Angeles, you need to come to the Cicada Club. They do theme nights between 30's to the 60's. You have to dress in proper attire for the period and its live. Its used in Mad Men quite often and it was used in that film the Artist here recently too.

<KittyKatBlack> You look deranged. But I mean that in the nicest way possible. ^_^;

Thanks fellas. Phact, that sounds really cool. And I'm glad you enjoyed it schoob even if it's not necessarily your cup of tea!

A little background: This morning, the building that houses our transmitter got like... I dunno, I don't knwo what happened, something like water got in, either way the transmitter was busted so we couldn't broadcast over terrestrial radio. I was worried that this would affect the online broadcast too, but thank god it didn't. If it was going to I was totally planning to come in next week (after everyone's moved out and everything) and do my show anyway

But once I got there tonight, I usually have technical difficulties myself, playing the wrong song or pushing a wrong button but... that never happened. I don't think it happened even once the whole night. I tried to record it for a friend of mine so we'll see if that worked.

I listened to most of the show last night, at least until my computer started crashing. (I really need to get my home-computer situation taken care of.) I'll admit this old-timey stuff's pretty boring to me, although it was nice, relaxing background music for telling that Adam T. Williams fellow how worthless his webcomic is.

The main thing I got out of it's that you have a really nice voice for broadcasting. I've had a casual interest in doing something like this, but I think my voice sucks. Maybe I'll try it eventually if I can find time for it.

"Seems like the only comics that would be good to this person are super action crazy lines, mega poses!"

LOL McDuffies. I did not, though I always wanted to. It's too distracting to do anything that requires much attention since I gotta keep operating the board/cds and so forth. I usually would end up reading Cracked articles, though last night I just vegged.

And awww, thanks LC. Yeah, the music isn't for everybody, though I have gotten a lot of really nice feedback from people fliping through the stations and saying "What is this?" DJing is definitely a lot of fun, it's worth a try I would say just to say you did. Idk how easy that is to do outside of a college level though, but it'd be intereseting to look into.

Yeah, I guess I might as well try it at least once. It'd basically be like making a podcast, right? 'Cause everyone online seems to say that podcasts are pretty easy to do.

Now, where'd I put that headset...

"Seems like the only comics that would be good to this person are super action crazy lines, mega poses!"

I've never done a podcast, so I actually have no idea. I'm assuming the equipment is different and obviously you have full reign over everything you do- I'd assume you're not subject to FCC regulations like saying call numbers at the top of the hour (since you wouldn't have them, lol) or playing certain content.

well podcasts all you really need is a mike and (I hope a decent collection of music). There's been a few podcasts I've been asked to assist on over the years. Though depending on if people actually listen to it you could run into royality issues if your not careful. I prefer building mix tapes when people request. plus then I don't have to talk.
